Go Module Import - Invalid version: go.mod has malformed module path

I have looked all over for an answer for "go.mod has malformed module path" but I have not found an answer to why I can't get a library I am writing to import. To simplify I have made a tiny library repo: https://github.com/buphmin/test-go-pkg

Note: I am using the stripe api library for structure inspiration. https://github.com/stripe/stripe-go

Problem:

I create a library, go mod init , push code and tag to github. Then try to import package to use the library elsewhere and I get an error message: 'go get: github.com/buphmin/[email protected]: invalid version: go.mod has malformed module path "github.com/buphmin/test-go-pkg/v1" at revision v1.0.0'

I have no idea why this is an issue and I have not found an answer thus far.

Steps to Reproduce

Assuming you have go installed.

  • Create local folder
  • go mod init <your_mod>
  • go get github.com/buphmin/test-go-pkg/v1
  • error occurs

Other info

  • go v1.16
  • ubuntu 18 LTS

go mod file Copied from the source of truth listed above: https://github.com/buphmin/test-go-pkg

module github.com/buphmin/test-go-pkg/v1

go 1.16

Edit - Answer:

My understand now with the help of @Steven Penny is that v1, v2, etc has more significance than just organization. This article explains how go treats that versioning https://www.honeybadger.io/blog/golang-go-package-management.

Solution

  • This:

    module github.com/buphmin/test-go-pkg/v1

    is not valid. Should be this:

    module github.com/buphmin/test-go-pkg
